Ficus rubiginosa is introduced by Fire Resistant and Retardant Plants, its selected source lineage. The evidence table carries the computed on-list direction. Two ecological invasive reports provide separate context.
The species comparisons sit under related plants, while range evidence retains the geographic material for rubiginosa. The genus page supplies a wider fig index without adding evidence from neighboring records. That arrangement leaves the plant-list citation, computed direction, and two invasive reports attached to this species account; the evidence table remains its source anchor within the named rubiginosa species entry itself.

How to read this page
The status above is computed from the cited rows below: independent recommendations can support a fire-resistant result, an avoid row can produce keep-away, and disagreement stays visible as conflict. Placement notes preserve each source’s own scheme rather than translating unlike rules into one scale. This is evidence about a plant, not permission to plant it in every part of the defensible space; Zone 0 remains noncombustible.
Native and introduced range evidence
These are exact U.S. botanical-area records from the cited range source. Native and
introduced describe biogeographic relationship, not fire performance or planting approval.
Doubtful and extinct rows stay visible but do not count as current presence.
The lossless worldwide derivative is retained once in the research corpus; object pages repeat only exact U.S. areas needed by the local lens. The JSON twin carries the same page assertions.
The evidence
Grouped by what each source concluded. Primary evidence rated the plant itself
(a lab, field program, or original curation); corroboration compiled or
republished another source's rating and resolves to its root lineage.
